To observe. This is one of the things I try to educate myself. Everyday. Watching the world, other people, signs, myself allows me to pause, calm down, discover. When I succeed, I get a sense of calmness. And no matter what I observe: beautiful flower, lonely bird or storming waves.
The waves never crash, their splashes part for a moment and reconnect again. Even if flying in the clouds, falling in the rain or storming in the streams, it always returns and turns into the ocean again.
If only we knew we will be coming back, maybe it wouldn’t be such a daunting journey of life?

The result of each wave is the earth has reduced a fraction. The volcanos erupt and push the waves back. The waves crash and again reduce the earth.
it is a never-ending process. each cycle so much larger than the life of a human.
We get plenty of waves crashing on our West Coast beaches of Auckland and the wave is as large as a huge house… it is awesome but some people I have met are also awesome..
I guess, it’s really awesome view, and I love watching the crashing waves.
I call it art of living when one is able to see something positive no matter what the situation is.
You said it very nice.
on an individual level, a person is insignificant compared to nature. but people are destroying nature…
A sad and unfortunate truth
so a person is small compared to nature, but our technology isn’t…
I sometimes become poetic when I am on the beach with the waves crashing on my feet.
I believe you are, such a view can increase creativity.
I have always been an observer in life, it has advantages.
